Working independently or in teams, your class practices connecting graphs, formulas and words. This lesson includes a guided discussion about distance vs. time graphs and looking at how velocity changes over time.  

When told to describe a line, do your pupils list its color, length, and which side is high or low? Use a activity that engages scholars to properly label line graphs. It then requests two applied reasoning answers.

Get out those thinking caps and apply graphing functions to a real-world problem. Use the TI-83 graphing calculator to evaluate algebraic expressions that are imbedded in a series of real-world scenarios. A great lesson!

Sixth graders interpret linear and nonlinear graphs. They create graphs based on a problem set. Next, they represent quantitive relationships on a graph and write a story related to graphing.

Use this series of activities to introduce learners to graphing functions. They graph both linear and quadratic equations by hand and with a Graph Sketcher Tool. Several imbedded links and handouts are included in the lesson.

In this integrated algebra worksheet, students answer 39 questions in preparation for the Regents High School Examination. Students solve problems about various topics in algebra and algebra II, including quadratics, systems of...

Most of your students probably think a car or college is the first big expense their parents could help them with, but as it turns out these kids have been costing their parents for their whole lives. Have they ever considered how much...

Am I making any money? Help learners determine if their fictitious soda stand is turning a profit. They graph linear equations using the slope and y-intercept and identify the best price to use to sell soda. They identify the domain and...

Students practice plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane while participating in a discussion about the Possible Or Not worksheet/activity. Students also use the Impossible Graphs worksheet to practice reading a graph,...

In this algebra worksheet, high schoolers solve equations, graph linear functions, and find the angles in triangles. There are 39 questions.

In this integrated algebra learning exercise, learners complete 39 multiple-choice problems. This is a copy of the 2009 State of New York exam.

In this algebra instructional activity, students review a variety of algebra-related concepts. They solve problems in statistics, factoring, and solving equations. There are problems involving geometric formulas and shapes.

Middle and high schoolers collect and analyze their data. In this statistics instructional activity, pupils analyze graphs for linear regression as they discuss the relationship of the function to the number of rubber bands and the...

Where did conic sections get their name? The equation and graph of a parabola are developed from the definition of the conic section. Teacher examples on graphing the equation and writing an equation from the graph round out the plan.

Students solve problems with slopes. In this algebra lesson, students identify the slope of a line and relate it to the rate of change.  They graph their lines on the TI and observe changes in the lines.

There are a number of activities here that look at representing data in different ways. One activity, has young data analysts conduct a class survey regarding a new radio station, summarize a data set, and use central tendencies to...

Students analyze graphs, charts and tables. In this data analysis lesson, students practice creating and analyzing charts, graphs and tables corresponding to sales and surveys. This lesson uses data relevant to students and includes...

Take flight with a fun activity focused on graphing data on a coordinate plane. As learners study the data for Granny's hot-air balloon trip, including the time of day and the distance of the balloon from the ground, they practice...

Students graph their linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students examine their lines and relate it to the slope or rate of change. They relate the steepness of the line to the slope being positive, negative or zero.

Solving systems by substitution can be a challenging topic in algebra I. Here is a lesson plan that builds on students' understanding of intercepts to begin the process of substitution, and all work is reinforced graphically to...

In this simultaneous equations worksheet, pupils solve systems of equations. They graph systems of equations and write equations to fit given situations. This two-page worksheet contains three multi-step problems.

Students explore change represented in graphs comparing distance and time. They exchange and share their graphs. Students interpret and create distance versus time line-graphs, and write stories based on these graphs. They interpret a...

Students use the DrScheme program to create graphics for clip art. Using graphics, they plan their designs using basic shapes, plotting its positions, and studying the relationships between points. By plotting the necessary data on...

Use tables, graphs, and substitution to solve systems of linear equations. An envelope of sample problems is passed around the classroom, and each learner has the opportunity to solve the system in the envelope. This is a great way to...
